In a world dominated by phishing attacks, even standard solutions like passwords have lost their effectiveness. Groups that should work together instead rely on siloed security solutions that don’t communicate. The COVID-19 pandemic has complicated everything from shared touchpads to facial recognition of employees in masks, and accelerated the need for security solutions that alleviate both security and health safety concerns. With the goal of reducing risk and improving safety and security, Convergint partners with Sentry Enterprises to offer converged biometric identification solutions for physical and logical access with SentryCard.
SentryCard was designed from the ground up with usability and functionality in mind to solve these problems, and more. It gives both remote and onsite employees identification confidence with biometric authentication that provides proof-positive identification for each login, and bridges the divide between groups like HR, operations, and Security to provide a holistic and converged biometric security solution that brings immediate organizational ROI. However, there are risks and privacy concerns associated with the use of biometric authentication. Together, Convergint works with Sentry Enterprises to ensure safety and privacy along with the benefits and ROI from the use of converged biometric access solutions.
